: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: A lot has happened for The Dead Ships in the short time that :,
: theyÆve been together. :
:' ':
,: Within a couple of months after singer/guitarist Devlin :,
: McCluskey and drummer Chris Spindelilus started jamming in the :
:' latterÆs apartment, the soulful garage rock duo were playing ':
,: sold out shows at The Echo in their native Los Angeles (opening :,
: for King Khan) and at San FranciscoÆs Bottom Of The Hill. :
:' ':
,: They quickly became the most talked-about live show in L.A., :,
: picking up airplay on radio giant KROQ where their song æBig :
:' QuietÆ spent five weeks in the number one slot on the stationÆs ':
,: star-making Locals Only show. And just recently, the Ships were :,
: hand-picked by Goldenvoice to perform at Coachella 2016, where :
:' they won over the crowd with their punchy hooks and wiry ':
,: on-stage energy. :,
: :
:' Now, itÆs time for the world to really get to know The Dead ':
,: Ships as they look forward to the release of their debut :,
: full-length album CITYCIDE (out June 24th / Nevado Music). :
:' Produced by Broken Social SceneÆs Brendan Canning (he also adds ':
,: some sweet, sweet guitar playing throughout the LP), the :,
: now-trio with Alex Moore on bass put together a fiery collection :
:' of songs that showcase McCluskeyÆs engaging yowl and an ':
,: unrelenting drive that refuses to let up on the gas pedal until :,
: the last notes of album closer ôTomorrowÆs Crashesö fade away. :
:' ':
,: For all its dynamism and momentum, once you start digging into :,
: CITYCIDE, youÆll start to taste the bittersweet tang of :
:' McCluskeyÆs vision for this album. For example, the title of ':
,: this LP began as a reference to the sad fact that when people :,
: choose the Golden Gate Bridge as the location to take their own :
:' lives, they do so facing the city that theyÆre leaving behind. ':
,: ôIt seemed like a sort of statement,ö McCluskey says. ôOne last :,
: rebellion.ö :
:' ':
,: As he started writing a song inspired by that, it evolved into a :,
: full suite of songs about the alienation that folks living in :
:' big cities like Los Angeles or McCluskeyÆs former hometown of ':
,: Chicago can feel, even as theyÆre surrounded by thousands of :,
: other people. On CITYCIDE that takes many forms like his :
:' frustration with people that give up on their dreams to make a ':
,: buck (ôCompany Lineö) or the feeling that the walls of your home :,
: are more oppressive than welcoming (ôFloorboardsö). :
:' ':
,: ThereÆs an added shade of sadness to CITYCIDE too, as many of :,
: the songs poured out of McCluskey in the wake of his best :
:' friendÆs suicide. Using his art to process his grief and ':
,: confusion at losing the closest person in his life helped pour :,
: some added depth of feeling into the songs. You can get by just :
:' rocking out to them, but once you let them sink in deeper, ':
,: theyÆll quickly become a part of you too. :,
: :
:' And if the music - a raw power mix of finely tuned dynamics ':
,: with the unadorned grind of vintage Nuggets-style psych rock - :,
: isnÆt enough to let you know that this isnÆt a sorrowful album :
:' but rather a celebration of McCluskeyÆs friendÆs life and the ':
,: simple act of carrying on even in our toughest times, just spend :,
: some time with æFirst MistakesÆ. Through the thick cloud of :
:' jangly power-pop chords, the message of the chorus bursts out ':
,: brightly: ôIt was good to be alive!ö :,
: :
:' The next step for The Dead Ships is to bring this feeling to as ':
,: many willing bodies as they can. The band is coming off a :,
: sold-out tour of the U.S. opening for Les Butcherettes and :
:' stopping by SXSW before their triumph at Coachella. For the ':
,: immediate future, that means more touring on the way, hopefully :,
: taking them further and farther out than ever before. :
:' ':
